Protehome

April 6-8, 2012 - UCSD, La Jolla, California

The goal of this meeting is to bring together computational and experimental scientists in the area of computational proteomics and mass spectrometry to discuss current research directions and latest findings, as well as to establish new collaborations to meet the algorithmic and statistical challenges in high-throughput proteomics.

Key dates:

Paper submissions begin: November 30, 2011

Paper submissions deadline: December 30, 2011

Total infrastructure of over 50 state-of-the-art mass spectrometers is available in the six Transnational Access sites of which over 15 Orbitrap and FT-ICR high resolution instruments. Different access sites will host projects with different requirements (e.g. PTM analysis, membrane protein analysis, native MS).  All access to proteomics technology is provided transnationally and access costs are paid by the EU. Access is open to all researchers in EU Member States and Associated Countries. 

Currently, the six access sites are accepting especially proposals in the following areas:

• Netherlands Proteomics Center (Utrecht, NL) : Differential quantitative proteomics of complex proteomes
• VIB Proteomics Unit (Ghent, BE) : Differential quantitative proteomics and protein modifications
• Functional Genomics Center Zurich (ETH Zurich, CH) : Differential quantitative proteomics of complex proteomes and targeted quantitative proteomics
• CRG Proteomics Unit (Barcelona, SP): All projects
• Cambridge Centre for Proteomics (Cambridge, UK) : All projects
• CEA Proteomics Unit (Grenoble, FR) : All projects

• 1971 total days of transnational access to be provided over 4 years

PRIME-XS is a consortium of twelve partners, all leading in the field of proteomics. In addition to providing access, we develop new technologies to better aid the research community in answering current day scientific questions, and organize courses and meetings. Click here for more information

The "mzIdentML version 1.1 - mzIdentML: exchange format for peptides and proteins identified from mass spectra" is now available for Public Comment on the PSI Web site

The public comment period enables the wider community to provide feedback on a proposed standard before it is formally accepted, and thus is an important step in the standardisation process.

This message is to encourage you to contribute to the standards development activity by commenting on the material that is available online. We invite both positive and negative comments. If negative comments are being made, these could be on the relevance, clarity, correctness, appropriateness, etc, of the proposal as a whole or of specific parts of the proposal.

If you do not feel well placed to comment on this document, but know someone who may be, please consider forwarding this request. There is no requirement that people commenting should have had any prior contact with the PSI.

• PSI PAR (http://www.psidev.info/index.php?q=node/281)
• PSI mzIdentML (http://www.psidev.info/index.php?q=node/40#analysisXML)
